Detectives want to hear from the victim and witnesses of a suspected assault and kidnap incident which took place earlier this month.

An investigation was launched following the first incident at around 7.20pm on Monday, November 5 in Gasking Street, Greenbank, where a member of the public saw a man being punched before being bundled into a car.

Further inquiries led to officers locating a car on the Torpoint Ferry on November 7 which matched the description of the vehicle used in the suspected kidnapping.

A 43-year-old local man was arrested in connection with the incident and he was questioned on suspicion of kidnap. He was later released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Police say they are keen to identify if anyone saw a blue Peugeot 307 car in the area at the time.
